Basis of Presentation

In the fourth quarter of fiscal 2022, Comtech Telecommunications Corp. (the "Company") re-organized its business segments to better align them with end-markets for its products and services. The Company's businesses have been re-organized into two reportable segments: “Satellite and Space Communications” and “Terrestrial and Wireless Networks.”

The Company's chief operating decision maker ("CODM"), our Chief Executive Officer, primarily uses a metric that we refer to as Adjusted EBITDA to measure an operating segment’s performance and to make decisions about resources to be allocated. The Company's Adjusted EBITDA metric does not include any allocation of indirect expense, or any of the following: income taxes, interest (income) and other, change in fair value of the convertible preferred stock purchase option liability, write-off of deferred financing costs, interest expense, amortization of stock-based compensation, amortization of intangibles, depreciation expense, amortization of cost to fulfill assets, estimated contract settlement costs, settlement of intellectual property litigation, acquisition plan expenses, restructuring costs, COVID-19 related costs, strategic emerging technology costs (for next-generation satellite technology), facility exit costs, CEO transition costs, proxy solicitation costs, or strategic alternatives expenses and other. These items, while periodically affecting the Company's results, may vary significantly from period to period and may have a disproportionate effect in a given period, thereby affecting the comparability of results. Any amounts shown in the Adjusted EBITDA calculation for the Company's Satellite and Space Communications and Terrestrial and Wireless Networks segments are directly attributable to those segments. Adjusted EBITDA is also used by management in assessing the Company's operating results. Although closely aligned, the Company's definition of Adjusted EBITDA is different than the Consolidated EBITDA (as such term is defined in the Company's Credit Facility) utilized for financial covenant calculations and also may differ from the definition of EBITDA or Adjusted EBITDA used by other companies and, therefore, may not be comparable to similarly titled measures used by other companies.

The following schedules present the Company's unaudited historical quarterly segment information, which was recast to correspond with the Company’s current reporting structure, along with a reconciliation of segment net income and consolidated net income to Adjusted EBITDA:
